| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, depicting Her Majesty wearing the George IV State Diadem and draped in robes, as designed by Jody Clark. The sovereign's portrait is rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The surrounding legend carries the royal titles and denomination, with the designer's initials J.C. appearing below the truncation. |

| Additional information |
This piedfort was issued as part of the Royal Mint's Winnie-the-Pooh series, drawing on A.A. Milne's characters whose rights passed to Disney in 1961 — a corporate ownership that has made official British commemorative use a matter of careful licensing rather than simple cultural celebration. Pieforts in gold at this weight occupy a peculiar commercial niche: priced well beyond bullion value, sold predominantly to collectors who will never break the packaging.
The 27.3 mm diameter matches the circulating 50 pence blanks, with the piedfort doubling the standard planchet thickness.
